Chapter 1065: A Perfect Fit
Of course, shock was what Valyr thought they were feeling when he looked at them. After all, both of their eyes and mouths were as open as they could be, staring at the thing that he’d just done.
However, as he listened to the words that eventually came out of Mystia’s mouth, his thoughts immediately changed.
It was through her words that he realized that the two weren’t feeling shock or surprise whatsoever.
It was astonishment.
And from what Valyr could perceive from Mystia’s tone, a hint of excitement as well. “You’re… you’re already finished?” Mystia asked him, her lips subconsciously curling up into a smile. “Are you sure you haven’t done any of this in the past? Like tried it a couple of times and ended up forgetting it?”
“Not that I know of.” Tilting his head in slight confusion, Valyr shook his head in response. “After all, I only had a point of Mystic Energy to my name until recently.”
“Anyways, why are you asking me that?” Focusing his thoughts on his recent attempt at using Mystic Rune Alchemy, the young man began to look at it from a couple different perspectives. “Did I do something wrong? Did I do anything different?”
“If you did do anything wrong during the process, then I would’ve said something about it.” Surprisingly, Marcus was the one to respond to Valyr’s question, his expression a mix between serious and excited. “But different…”
“Yeah. You’ve definitely done something different, alright.”
At those words, it was Valyr’s turn to react, his eyebrow raised as he continued to look at the two in slight confusion.
Thinking about whether or not he’d done anything different while going through the concoction process in his mind, Marcus eventually told Valyr what he wanted to know.
“You’ve actually found a way to make the concoction process go even faster,” said Marcus, giving Valyr even greater confusion than before.
“But I followed everything Mystia told me, though?”
“That’s the thing.” Marcus nodded in agreement. “I could tell that you did follow Mystia’s instructions to the letter. However, at some point, your process gradually began to deviate from hers.”
“Is it the difference in the intent you put into the Mystic Energy? The level of detail of the intent? Perhaps it’s the difference in the quality of the Mystic Energy itself?” The man slightly shrugged. “Frankly, I can only find out so much through my connection with the Mystic Plane.”
“Should Valyr and I concoct a batch of potions at the same time, then?” suggested Mystia after hearing Marcus’ words, prompting the latter to ponder over it for a bit before eventually nodding.
“That’ll definitely help out,” said the man, only to look at Valyr soon after. “Though, it’d be better if Valyr himself were to help out in identifying the difference as well. After all, he’s the one controlling the process.”
Although he had no idea what he’d done differently when compared to what Mystia showed him, Valyr gradually became curious about it the more the two talked about it, indirectly telling him that it was something significant.
With that, the young man agreed to the suggestion, eventually prompting both him and Mystia to grab a batch of ingredients from their tables as they released their Mystic Energy into the surroundings.
Whoosh!
Sending their ingredients to their air, both Valyr and Mystia deftly controlled their energy to envelop all of the ingredients they threw into a cocoon.
Then, starting off the concoction process by purifying the ingredients with Mystic Energy, the two proceeded to keep an eye on each other’s movements, with Marcus keeping an eye on the whole thing as well.
Recalling the amount of time it took for his ingredients to be purified in his previous attempt, Valyr decided to split a part of his attention to take a look at the description of the recent batch of Lesser Mana Rejuvenation Potions he’d made.
Surprisingly, the potions turned out far better than he thought.
[Lesser Mana Rejuvenation Potion] (Item)
Rarity: Common
A vial filled with fluid that contains a strong power to restore one’s mana. Made by someone who’s accumulating more experience in the world of alchemy using a special technique involving otherworldly energy that reduces the loss of efficacy as much as possible.
Once consumed, this vial restores 15% of the user’s max MP.
Aside from the fact that the item’s description made him wonder whether drinking it would replenish his Prime Azure Energy or not, Valyr was surprised that changing to Mystic Rune Alchemy allowed him to concoct what was considered the perfect version of the potion.
‘Mystia mentioned earlier that the Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potion I made was only a percent away from being considered perfect,’ thought the young man to himself, infusing the intent of extraction into his Mystic Energy not long after.
‘So… that means I just made a batch of perfect Lesser Mana Rejuvenation Potions.’
Though concocting a batch of perfect mana potions did not seem like much with the amount of effort he’d put in, Valyr truly knew how significant it was.
After all, even though there was only a single percent difference between a perfect version and a top-tier version of the same potion, the two versions fetched a different price whenever he bought them in the past.
With that in mind, the young man briefly went over Mystia’s words from earlier, talking about how most of the Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potions in the market that transcended that perfect version were made by her in her early days.
Wanting to try his hands at achieving something similar, Valyr went ahead and infused a bit more of his Mystic Energy into the cocoon, allowing him to extract even more essence out of
the ingredients.
Noticing that the amount of dregs that were left over from the process were around half of what it was before, Valyr took in a deep breath to compose himself before proceeding with the
final step.
Going over the exact ratio of essence necessary to create the potion in his mind, the young man soon infused those thoughts into the Mystic Energy, swiftly transforming the mishmash of essences into a homogenous cloud of dark blue.
Whoosh!
With the bottling process being the only step left for the young man, Valyr went ahead and dispelled his Mystic Energy, expecting that Mystia would have dispelled her own Mystic
Energy at around the same time.
Yet, what happened instead was that most of Mystia’s attention was still focused on concocting her own batch of Lesser Mana Rejuvenation Potions, though she still had enough leeway to keep an eye on what Valyr was doing.
Pouring the essence into the vials with the help of his energy, it did not take long for the cloud of dark blue to disappear from the trio’s vision, leaving only a single cocoon of Mystic Energy still levitating in the air.
“I still haven’t figured out what you’re doing different.” Activating his identification skill to see how his new batch of mana potions looked, Marcus spoke to the young man with a wry
smile.
“However, seeing you two concoct the same thing at the same time has made me realizing something else.”
“And that would be?” As these words left Valyr’s mouth, Mystia finally dispelled the cocoon she’d created before bottling up the essence she made into a number of vials.
Listening in to the conversation happening between the two, it did not take long for Mystia to understand what Marcus was talking about, only to become more sure of it the moment she identified the batch Valyr had just created.
“Your compatibility with Mystic Rune Alchemy. You’re a perfect fit, Valyr. It’s as if the style of
alchemy was made for you,” said Mystia as she continued where the man left off, with the latter nodding in agreement.
“It’s as if… you were born to learn… to push Mystic Rune Alchemy to greater heights.”
